At the onset of the season, the 49ers were an afterthought. San Francisco was considered far below the Rams and Seahawks in the NFC West. All of which makes their undefeated start more satisfying. Unlike the injury-riddled 2018 season head coach Kyle Shanahan has all the necessary weapons. And a defense that is tough as nails. The 49ers’ success is not an NFL betting accident. In the same way, the Panthers are one of the hottest teams in the NFL. Carolina will enter San Francisco riding a four-game winning streak. This is the weekend’s top matchup.
